Recensione:
"A masterpiece...a terrific novel, humming with ideas, knowing asides, shafts of sunlight, shouts of laughter and moments of almost unbearable tragedy" (Toby Clements Sunday Telegraph)
"Compelling...profoundly moving" (Leyla Sanai The Independent on Sunday)
"A pleasure from start to finish...WHERE MY HEART USED TO BEAT is that rare book, a page-turning read that also has a significant intellectual and emotional charge." (Alexander Larman Sunday Express)
"There is everything here: love, loss, death, war, history, memory, ideas, travel, friendship, rivalry, chance – and sex. It comes in an immaculately crafted package that continues an ingenious dual-timeline with plot twists that serve the reader with the exact impression of what it might be to live the life of the novel’s gimlet-eyed and engaging narrator, Dr Robert Hendricks" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Combining as it does the cultural narrative of a complex century forsaken by God and certainty, a serious investigation into the vulnerability of the human mind and an old-fashioned – in the best sense – story of love and war, this is an ambitious, demanding and profoundly melancholy book" (Guardian)
"a powerful and moving novel" (Daily Express)
"This is not a wartime tragic romance, or a simple story of trauma. It is much more affecting than that." (Rosemary Goring Herald)
"An intelligent and moving examination of the traumas of war. Faulks is as accomplished as ever" (Scotsman, Books of the Year)
"It’s a melancholy tale of war, love and loss that will leave you gulping back sobs" (Observer, Books 2015 in Review)
"Faulks gets better and better with every book. This is surely one of the year’s best novels." (John Harding Daily Mail)
